Huh? What in the world are you on about? Carlin is * more* challenging, more interesting, more insightful than he has ever been. And still amazingly funny.
I don’t know what exactly is you’d expect him to do to measure up to whatever weird standard you are holding him to, but I’ll tell you this: Carlin hasn’t pandered to anyone since he took off the suit and let his hair grow. He is true to himself always. Which is more than can be said for most performers and most artists.
